Strawberry Cheesecake Shooters Recipe

Remember when I posted the Oreo Chocolate Pudding Parfait Recipe and told you that I was going to buy some shot glasses and make a strawberry cheesecake variation? I promised that I'd post the recipe and pics and so here they are. Enjoy!!

*If you cannot find pre-sweetened frozen strawberries, simply add 2 tablespoons of sugar to unsweetened strawberries after they have thawed and stir.

Directions:

Mix pudding packet with milk as directed on package. Set in fridge to chill.

Place the thawed strawberries in a bowl and mash with potato masher or back of fork. Set aside. Take your graham crackers and process in food processor until finely ground or crush in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin.

When pudding has set, it is time to assemble the shooters. First sprinkle a layer of graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of your shooters.

Next, spoon a layer of the cheesecake pudding on top.

Add a layer of mashed strawberries.

Repeat with another layer of grahams then pudding.

Finally, finish off the top with more strawberries.

Here is our finished product (you can even add a dollop of whipped cream if you like).

And here is a side view:

They were so easy to make and delicious!!

***Bonus Tip: Similar to the tip I mentioned in the Oreo Chocolate Pudding Parfait Recipe I also keep a gallon-size bag of crushed graham cracker crumbs on hand in my pantry at all times. It's great for making pie crusts; cake, cupcake or sundae toppings and you can even mix them into shakes or smoothies.***
